In all fairness I changed out my modem with the exact same make and model number. I'm sure this did help. Overall the setup was simple and worth the small amount of effort.

Work flawlessly
April 30, 2020

Work flawlessly directly out of the container positively no issues by any means. I recommend sparing a design record from the modem you're as of now leasing on the off chance that you do sell it's just transfer it when you introduce this new one and it will work precisely the equivalent truly took me close to five minutes to set up.

I finally did it and ordered the exact modem I have been leasing from Comcast for I cannot tell you how many years! When I looked at my bill and noticed I pay $15 per month... why wouldn't you buy your own. This will be paid for in 7 months and I won't be flushing money down the toilet any longer!

Received my modem and it was poorly packed and broken. I emailed right away and got a automatic response saying someone would get back to me. After a week going back and forth and calling ( you call a google phone #) I sent a email again asking for a pre paid return label and they sent me a email telling this." You are welcome to do what you would like but the truth is we have responded to every email you have sent with instructions and you just disregard any questions we ask or return instructions we send. Again, we are very sorry to hear that you are having problems as please confirm if you have attempted to install the unit using the instructions provided to see if the small cracks affect the functionality of the modem as it would be tested accordingly upon return. Otherwise, please be sure to review our return policy that was presented and accepted in order to complete checkout and BE SURE to include a note in the package detailing your reason for return and your welcome to return the item to the return address below where it will be tested and a replacement/refund being issued upon confirming defective."
THEY ARE A BACK YARD COMPANEY. NO BALLS TO DEAL WITH CUSTOMERS DIRECTLY AND OWN UP TO THEIR MISTAKES. I paid $117.00 for a broken modem and they cant even send a return slip and want me to spend more money to return it.

Well there are certianly two sides to every story as our "Do what you want comment" was in response to customer making several extortion threats of forgoing attacking our business with reviews if he received monetary gain of which we do not tolerate nor entertain such threats. Customer ordered an item from us and had some cracking in the base but was it was listed as a discounted item for this reason as it is fully functional so it was a discounted off item of almost 50% as buyer confirms that he didn't perform the due diligence in reading the items description page BEFORE purchase as we provided the items condition, a specific definition of the items conditiion, and specifically list each and every accessory that would be included as buyer just ASSUMED based on price what condition might be but upon doing actual research you will find it is priced at a significant discount compared to a new item online. Nonetheless, as the buyer confirms we told him he could certainly send it back regardless of him not reading before buying but customer became hostile and making threats and we are still waiting for the items return. Please Please Please just read what you are buying as this certainly was a waste of time and money for both parties for what is an easily preventable issue of read before you buy. We have over 99.6% on Amazon and Ebay as a TOP RATED SELLER and have over 3000 POSITIVE REVIEWS on our website so if providing a 1 year warranty for our customers so for those who are able to read the items description page and purchase the right model for their provider they don't have any issues, unfortunately this was not the case in this transaction. So again, PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY AND THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY RESOLVE.

Happy with purchase
April 23, 2020

Installed this in about 15 minutes and we get great signal all throughout our home (3000 sq ft, 3 levels). We have it on the main floor and reaches the basement with no problems, as well as the upstairs. Originally, I bought a ARRIS TG862G/CT (XB2) docsis 3 wireless gateway telephony modem and router (separately) and returned them for this all in one as it was less failure points and troubleshooting when that time comes.

Great Modem
April 21, 2020

Switched to FIOS & ordered this modem instead of renting from Frontier. On installation, Technician said "no problem." He hooked it up & has worked flawlessly. Will pay for itself in a year, so 2nd year of Frontier contract is free modem. Recommend buying instead of renting.

Excellent service online. Quick delivery and easy to install. I had asked for recommendations on social media for purchasing a router. I was very apprehensive with using my credit card information but needless to say it all worked out with no complications. I definitely would order from this company again.

They sell used products as new that do not work. There is no customer service. They should be shut down.

Very sorry for any confusion but unfortunately we don't and never have offered this item as new and in fact right on the items descriptioin page we do list this item to be in refurbished condition, provide a specific definition for such condition, and then also provide an item by item list of what would be included. The majority of our customers love this unit for Comcast but I can see how if you didn't read anything and just assumed it was new in a form that was never listed then you might be disappointed. This despite even being presented with a notice stating that before you can complete checkout please confirm that you have read the items description page word for word as you can't complete checkout from us without acknowledging or accepting such terms so that we can prevent these preventable misunderstanding from happening. However, we have also already issued an RMA to return the unit and are just waiting for it to arrive back so we can get the return processed and refunded for you. In reality we don't have this problem very often thank goodness and in fact have THOUSANDS OF POSITIVE REVIEWS on our website, over 95% positive feeback on Amazon, and are a Top rated seller on Ebay with years of taking care of our customers as you can't just "Fake" reviews on these sites but I understand how you would need to say that in order to make it look like you are not the 4% of people who just flat out didn't read what you were buying and then went on a witch hunt after the fact when you found out this was the case.
We certainly try and our best to serve our customers the best we can as is proven by our track record on multiple sites but unfortunatley we can't prevent customers who don't read before they buy and just make assumptions and unfortunatley we are bound to have a few and it makes it tough try and help but the review sites such as this provide a great environment for such to vent instead of take responsibility.

Bought an item from these guys, which turned out not to work for my service. It took 3 weeks to arrive (forcing me to purchase another item from Amazon to ensure I didn't lose my appointment with technician). When I reached out to customer service (via email, you can't even speak with anyone on the phone) for a return label, I was told I needed to pay for shipping myself (in a very rude way). After another three weeks or so, I had to reach out again for my refund. I received an email from them that they had refunded me the entire cost of the modem. But what was actually refunded was about 66% of the total cost. AVOID AT ALL *******@buyourownmodem - You have lost a customer and I will ensure you do not get any business from anyone around me. Companies like yours does not deserve to be in business.

Very sorry to hear that you are not being honest as it upon further research it looks like you selected our free shipping and passed on our expedited shipping of which the item was delivered with our free shipping time frame of 4-10 days. Also, per our return policy that was provided and accepted by you at time of checkout you were told this would be the shipping time and were also told that returns could take up to 30 days to be processed and so nothing happened that wasn't told to you before you completed checkout. The item was returned in fully functional condition and so per our return policy you were assessed a restocking fee and were never told at any time that you received a full refund so again that is very dishonest that you try and add such false info as everything was handled just as we said it would per our return policy. In reality we don't have this problem very often thank goodness and in fact have THOUSANDS OF POSITIVE REVIEWS on our website, over 95% positive feeback on Amazon, and are a Top rated seller on Ebay with years of taking care of our customers as you can't just "Fake" reviews on these sites but I understand how you would need to say that in order to make it look like you are not the 4% of people who just flat out didn't read what you were buying and then went on a witch hunt after the fact when you found out this was the case.

Modem/router came with fast shipping. Followed the automated instructions, then had Xfinity do a reset and
He unit came to life. Has been working now for two weeks. It seems to be even better then the unit I was leasing from Comcast. Thanks for a great product.

It Really Works!
March 4, 2020

I'm thrilled with the refurbished modem I got! Just matched it to the Xfinity one I was already using from Xfinity, so that there were no surprises. Even though it takes a bit to set up, it was worth all the $$$ saved.

Works like A Champ
February 25, 2020

Very easy to install. Works very well. 7ms ping, Upload 119mbps and 101mbps download. Arrived in good shape, cost we substantially lower than buying one from Verizon. Has worked great for the two weeks I have had it. Not issues at all and the wireless coverage is very good in my house. Do not need for a wireless extender any more.
